[SMCARA] Has anyone played with one of these?

[Carlos]

Nice! Looks like an awesome project. Are you designing an analog or a digital filter?

I just started playing with SDR myself and am looking to build one also.

My design uses much fewer components with a combined control and audio interface and I am trying for at least 5 watts output with at least all HF bands. I may try to sneak in 2m if I can. I have been considering changing the board layout to make it a daughter board for a single board computer to make it an all in one box. From what I have seen the Beagle Bone Black and Raspberry Pi don't have the horsepower to do everything it would need to in order for it to be effective.
